Abstract
Stephen Wolfram is the creator of Mathematica, Wolfram|Alpha and the Wolfram Language; the author of A New Kind of Science; the originator of the Wolfram Physics Project; and the founder and CEO of Wolfram Research. Over the course of more than four decades, he has been a pioneer in the development and application of computational thinking—and has been responsible for many discoveries, inventions and innovations in science, technology and business.
In this colloquium Stephen will share his insight and experience since graduating from Oxford's Department of Physics focussing on his understanding and knowledge of computation and the foundations of physics.
